Did The Weeknd Just Tease His New Collaboration With Daft Punk?

On Tuesday, online reporters picked up on an old interview that casually revealed R&B’s bad boy The Weeknd was busy working on some new music with Daft Punk. Back in July, Wendy Goldstein, an executive at The Weeknd’s label, Republic Records, revealed the collaboration during a roundtable of industry insiders hosted by Billboard magazine. “We have a session coming up in two days with The Weeknd and Daft Punk, and I’ve always been a massive Daft Punk fan,” she said. “This is the first time that I’ve actually been involved with an artist who’s going to go and work with them.”

The Weeknd has insinuated for a while now that new music is on its way. Earlier this year, he tweeted: “Chapter done soon. Just let these pages flip.” And two weeks ago, he shared a photo of himself with producer, Cashmere Cat, in the studio. Today, we might have gotten a taste of that new material when The Weeknd shared a snippet of a song on Instagram. Other than his signature vocals, little is revealed. (His voice plays again as a black screen.) No sign of Daft Punk yet, but maybe they can work out the visuals for The Weeknd's next post? Take a listen to the teaser below.
